**UPDATED AS OF WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 AT 8:08 PM ET**
🏈 AFC East◆ Buffalo BillsDalton Kincaid – TE (ankle)
Kincaid was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Likely none. Kincaid has played through injuries this season largely without issue.
Joshua Palmer – WR (hamstring)
Palmer managed only seven offensive snaps in Week 8 before departing with an aggravation of the hamstring injury he has battled since Week 4. He was placed on injured reserve.
Impact: Not much, honestly. Palmer has played sparingly this season in a situational role, although his absence could leave room for Skylar Bell to be active for the third time this season.
◆ Miami DolphinsDe’Von Achane – RB (knee)
Achane suffered a torn ACL in the team’s Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, ending his season.
Impact: Achane’s unfortunate season-ending injury creates opportunity for Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright. The timing of the injury makes it likely that Achane is able to fully recover before the start of the 2027 regular season.
Malik Willis – QB (groin)
The Dolphins placed Willis on injured reserve in Week 10. He will be eligible to return in Week 14, but Willis is seeking a second opinion after the injury progressed into his abdomen. Season-ending surgery is possible.
Impact: Kyle McCord‘s installation as the team’s starter hurts all involved. Until we see how McCord fares in this system, only Ollie Gordon is a safe FLEX starter.
◆ New England PatriotsRomeo Doubs – WR (shoulder)
Doubs was placed on injured reserve following a shoulder injury sustained in Week 6. He will miss the next four games, at minimum.
Impact: The Patriots have now played only 33 offensive snaps with both Doubs and A.J. Brown on the field together this season after Doubs was injured on his second offensive snap in Week 6. Brown returned from injured reserve in Week 6 and should have the runway to return WR1 numbers while Doubs remains sidelined.
A.J. Brown – WR (knee/ankle)
Brown has missed the previous two weeks with a “flare up” in his knee. The team announced Tuesday that he will travel to Germany for Week 10. He was limited to begin the week.
Impact: DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams led the team in snaps and routes in the absence of Brown in Week 9, with none of the bunch consistent fantasy producers. Fantasy managers are likely forced to wait until late in the week to get a better sense of whether Brown will return in Week 10.
TreVeyon Henderson – RB (illness)
Henderson has been sidelined since Week 8 and will not play in Week 10 against the Lions.
Impact: See below.
Rhamondre Stevenson – RB (knee)
Stevenson is reportedly set to miss “a short period of time” with a tendon issue in his knee, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Impact: An absence from Stevenson could place the team in a dire situation with TreVeyon Henderson also sidelined for an indefinite time, likely leaving Corey Kiiner atop the depth chart for a matchup against the Lions in Germany. Kiner would gain viable FLEX status, should Stevenson miss. Lan Larison is his backup.
Hunter Henry – TE (foot)
Henry played through this injury in Week 9, and was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: He is a TE2 against the Lions.
◆ New York JetsGarrett Wilson – WR (concussion)
Wilson was ruled out for Week 9 Friday after failing to practice all week with a concussion. He was limited to begin Week 10, and head coach Aaron Glenn said he is “very hopeful” that Wilson will play.
Impact: Adonai Mitchell could operate as the Jets’ No. 1 wide receiver in his albeit volatile downfield role.
Omar Cooper – WR (ankle)
In Week 9, Cooper injured the same ankle that he hurt earlier this year, but he practiced in a limited capacity to begin Week 10.
Impact: Cooper is on track to play and warrants FLEX treatment against the Bills.
🏈 AFC North◆ Baltimore RavensLamar Jackson – QB (thumb)
Jackson returned from an ankle injury in Week 8 and made it all of one offensive snap before suffering a thumb injury that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the regular season.
Impact: Jackson’s absence is the biggest hit to the fantasy value of alpha receiver Zay Flowers, who falls to a mid-range WR2 in rest of season rankings. Recent signee Jacoby Brissett is expected to start under center in Week 10.
Tyler Huntley – QB (toe)
Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury in the team’s Week 8 loss to the Bills.
Impact: See above.
Durham Smythe – TE (Achilles)
Smythe suffered a torn Achilles in the team’s Week 4 win over the Titans. His season is done.
Impact: It was Matt Hibner who saw the largest increase in snaps following Smythe’s departure in Week 4, making it unlikely we see veteran Mark Andrews in a more robust role.
◆ Cincinnati BengalsAndrei Iosivas – WR (thumb)
The Bengals placed Iosivas on injured reserve in Week 3
Impact: Wide receivers Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers will duke it out for the No. 3 wide receiver role for at least the next four weeks. Meyers can be added in 14-team leagues, though his upside is questionable.
Erick All – TE (knee)
All suffered a torn ACL in Week 7. He was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the regular season.
Impact: All loses yet another season in devastating fashion after suffering his third torn ACL. His absence could provide a slight uptick in snap rate and route participation for Mike Gesicki, although he will be a difficult weekly start for as long as both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain healthy.
◆ Cleveland BrownsHarold Fannin – TE (groin)
Fannin played through the injury in Week 9, but did not enter the box score until overtime. He was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Likely none.
Denzel Boston – WR (toe)
Boston did not practice to begin Week 10.
Impact: Boston continues to deal with lower-leg injuries, but he played effectively last week. If he cannot face the Texans in Week 10, KC Concepcion and Fannin would benefit.
Raheim Sanders – RB (hip)The Browns placed Sanders on injured reserve in Week 6.
Impact: He will be eligible to return after four games missed.
◆ Pittsburgh SteelersMichael Pittman – WR (foot)
Pittman was limited on Wednesday before being seen using a scooter in the locker room after practice. It was then revealed that Pittman aggravated his foot injury. The Steelers placed him on injured reserve late in Week 5. The Steelers did not open his 21-day practice window after their Week 9 bye.
Impact: Pittman’s potential return could lower Germie Bernard‘s target share.
Roman Wilson – WR (finger)
Wilson departed in the second half of Week 5 with a finger injury and is reportedly looking at a multi-game absence. He was ruled out for Week 6 on Friday and placed on injured reserve on Saturday.
Impact: See above.
🏈 AFC South◆ Houston TexansWoody Marks – RB (knee)
Marks was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Likely none.
Tank Dell – WR (hand/shoulder)
Dell was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Dell led the team with nine targets last week. He may have his work slightly scaled back this week, but he remains FLEX-viable.
Marvin Harrison Jr. – WR (hamstring)
Harrison was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Hamstring injuries can be tricky for wide receivers. Kayshon Boutte and Xavier Hutchinson would mildly benefit if Harrison sits.
Jaylin Noel – WR (toe)
Noel suffered a turf toe injury in Week 7. The Texans placed him on injured reserve in Week 8. He is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.
Impact: Tank Dell and recent acquisition Marvin Harrison Jr. would be in line to benefit. Harrison should be added in 12-team formats.
David Montgomery – RB (groin)
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said in Week 5 that Montgomery is “week-to-week” with a groin injury. He remains sidelined early in Week 10.
Impact: Woody Marks is a low-end RB2/FLEX.
Jawhar Jordan – RB (undisclosed)
The Texans placed Jordan on injured reserve in Week 7.
Impact: Jordan prevented Marks from handling a full-time role in Week 6. Dare Ogunbowale will probably do the same while Montgomery is sidelined.
Jayden Higgins – WR (knee)
Higgins saw his 2026 season taken from him due to a torn ACL suffered in camp.
Impact: It’s a massive blow to a Texans team that was counting on Higgins taking another step forward in his Sophomore campaign. The team traded for Kayshon Boutte in the wake of the injury and then added Marvin Harrison Jr. in a deal with the Cardinals ahead of Week 6.
◆ Indianapolis ColtsAlec Pierce – WR (heel)
Pierce aggravated the injury that required offseason surgery in Week 2. The Colts placed him on injured reserve in Week 3. He will attempt to avoid surgery by rehabbing his injured heel. Head coach Shane Steichen said he is unsure whether Pierce will play again this season.
Impact: Tyler Warren is the de facto top option through the air for the remainder of the season.
◆ Jacksonville JaguarsBayshul Tuten – RB (ankle/foot)
Tuten played in Week 9’s Thursday Night Football after failing to practice leading up to the game. He did not practice the following Wednesday.
Impact: Tuten saw his workload managed in the second half of a blowout win but appears to have escaped without aggravating either injury. Fantasy managers will want to track his status coming out of the mini-bye.
Chris Rodriguez – RB (hand)
Rodriguez played through the injury in Week 9 and remained limited early in Week 10.
Impact: See above.
Jakobi Meyers – WR (ankle)
Meyers played through the injury in Week 9 and sat out the following Wednesday.
Impact: Meyers is a touchdown-dependent FLEX.
◆ Tennessee Titans
Carnell Tate – WR (shoulder)
Tate remains sidelined following the Titans’ Week 9 bye.
Impact: This could be consequential. Wan’Dale Robinson would benefit if Tate cannot play in Week 10.
Tyjae Spears – RB (knee)
As of Week 10, Spears has been sidelined since Week 7.
Impact: Fantasy managers will want to track his status out of the team’s Week 9 bye.
🏈 AFC West◆ Denver BroncosJaylen Waddle – WR (concussion)
Waddle suffered a concussion in the team’s Week 9 win over the Panthers.
Impact: The team’s Week 10 bye should afford Waddle enough time to return without missing a game.
RJ Harvey – RB (knee)
Harvey popped on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury and was ruled out for Week 8 on Friday. He was placed on injured reserve Saturday and will miss the next four weeks, at minimum.
Impact: Jonah Coleman is an RB2, operating as the team’s starter.
◆ Kansas City ChiefsPatrick Mahomes – QB (elbow)
Mahomes suffered an elbow injury to his throwing arm in the team’s Week 9 win over the Jets. He is practicing in full for Week 10 against the Falcons.
Impact: Pain management could lead to reduced throwing volume for Mahomes. Backup quarterback Justin Fields (neck) is practicing in full as well.
Tyquan Thornton – WR (ankle)
Thornton suffered a devastating ankle injury due to a hip-drop tackle in Week 4. He is reportedly set to undergo surgery within the week and will miss 12-16 weeks.
Impact: The team has lost all ability to attack downfield without Thornton, meaning our fantasy interest should be confined to those with expected volume.
◆ Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders emerged from their Week 9 loss to the 49ers absent any fantasy-relevant injuries.
◆ Los Angeles ChargersDavid Njoku – TE (fibula)
Njoku is reportedly set to see his 21-day practice window opened in the coming days. He was limited to begin Week 9 before being listed as doubtful.
Impact: Minimal. The Chargers have been the most disappointing offense in the league through the halfway point of the season.
Ladd McConkey – WR (back)
McConkey reportedly experienced back spasms during warmups for Week 9 and ultimately did not play.
Impact: McConkey now gets a long week of preparation ahead of a Monday Night Football contest against the Ravens. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his level of participation in practice closely in the coming days. He would be a viable WR3 if active.
Justin Herbert – QB (left hand)Herbert injured his non-throwing hand in Week 9.
Impact: Likely minimal.
🏈 NFC East◆ Dallas CowboysJake Ferguson – TE (ankle)
Ferguson departed the team’s Week 9 win with an ankle injury. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that the veteran tight end is “expected to miss time.”
Impact: Brevin Span-Ford is on hand to handle primary tight end duties. He is not a recommended streaming option outside of the deepest leagues.
George Pickens – WR (hamstring)
Pickens missed Week 9 with a hamstring injury. He was limited to begin Week 10.
Impact: Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status ahead of a Week 10 meeting with the 49ers. CeeDee Lamb could be in line for another massive target share should Pickens miss. Ryan Flournoy would be a starting FLEX.
Malik Davis – RB (hip)
Davis was placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.
Impact: The Cowboys released both Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah at roster cuts and now have only Emari Demercado on the active roster behind starter Javonte Williams. Expect Israel Abanikanda to be elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 2, while Williams appears likely to see all the work he can handle against the Commanders. Williams is a locked-in RB1.
◆ New York GiantsJaxson Dart – QB (knee)
Dart injured his MCL, PCL and meniscus on the team’s first possession of Monday Night Football against the Rams. He will undergo surgery to address the MCL and meniscus and miss the rest of the regular season. Giants head coach John Harbaugh said it is possible for Dart to return in the postseason, although this is unlikely.
Impact: Backup Jameis Winston was benched in favor of recent acquisition J.J. McCarthy in the second half of their loss to the Saints. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed McCarthy as the starter for Week 7.
Cam Skattebo – RB (hamstring)
Skattebo will play in Week 10 after sitting out in Week 9.
Impact: Skattebo is back in the RB2 ranks against the Commanders.
J.J. McCarthy – QB (hip)
McCarthy was in and out of the lineup in Week 9 after a painful hip pointer. He will play in Week 10 against the Commanders.
Impact: McCarthy is QB2-viable on Thursday night.
◆ Philadelphia EaglesSaquon Barkley – RB (back/hamstring)
Barkley should continue to play through the ailments after being active in Week 9.
Impact: Barkley is a volume-based RB1/2.
Dameon Pierce – RB (undisclosed)
Pierce was injured on a kick return in the fourth quarter of the team’s Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. He was placed on injured reserve the following Wednesday.
Impact: See above.
DeVonta Smith – WR (hamstring)
Smith has repeatedly aggravated the hamstring strain he initially injured in August. Smith was ruled out for Week 7 on Saturday, and as of early in Week 9, he remains sidelined. Both Smith and Dontayvion Wicks were ruled out for Week 9 on Friday.
Impact: Wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Britain Covey (knee) remain sidelined as well. All three could be held out through the Eagles’ Week 10 bye. Tight end Dallas Goedert and Makai Lemon benefit.
Tank Bigsby – RB (core)
See above.
Impact: See above.
Jalen Hurts – QB (blood clots)
Team doctors discovered a blood clot in Hurts’ calf. He was ruled out for Week 6 and could be looking at an extended absence. He was placed on injured reserve on Saturday after more clots were found in his lungs.
Impact: Hurts is currently sidelined indefinitely. Tanner McKee enters the starting lineup under center following the release of Andy Dalton. The Philadelphia offense could be in trouble in the immediate future considering the sheer number of injuries.
Will Shipley – RB (foot)
Shipley reportedly suffered a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his foot in Week 5. He is expected to miss multiple weeks.
Impact: See above.
◆ Washington CommandersTerry McLaurin – WR (knee)
McLaurin suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture in Week 6.
Impact: Stefon Diggs will likely serve as the de facto No. 1 wide receiver moving forward.
Jaylin Lane – WR (ankle)
Lane suffered a dislocated ankle and fracture in Week 4 and is likely done for the season.
Impact: Minimal. Lane was primarily a special teams contributor.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt – RB (groin)
Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice this week and ruled out for Week 6 against the 49ers. The team placed him on injured reserve on Saturday.
Impact: Expect Rachaad White to fill in as the primary rusher, with Austin Ekeler on hand to soak up primary change of pace duties. White can be started as a viable FLEX option while Ekeler is likely best left on fantasy benches.
Jeremy McNichols – RB (foot)
McNichols suffered a foot injury in Week 8 and was placed on injured reserve in Week 9.
Impact: Rachaad White and veteran Austin Ekeler are suddenly the only two healthy backs on the Washington roster, neither of whom is an overly exciting fantasy option on a struggling offense. White is the preferred option and could be started as a viable FLEX, should McNichols miss time.
Treylon Burks – WR (foot)
Burks did not play in Week 9. He was cleared to play in Week 10’s Thursday Night Football game despite logging on limited practice this week, on Tuesday.
Impact: Burks could be a decoy. Antonio Williams is limited to FLEX status until he proves otherwise.
🏈 NFC North◆ Chicago BearsKyle Monangai – RB (thumb/toe)
Head coach Ben Johnson labeled Monangai as “day-to-day” with a thumb injury suffered in Week 4, but he was later revealed to have suffered a turf toe injury as well. Monangai remains sidelined as of Week 9’s Wednesday practice. He did not play in Week 9.
Impact: D’Andre Swift is an RB1, should Monangai miss another game. Roschon Johnson can be stashed.
Cole Kmet – TE (knee)
Kmet suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team’s Thursday Night Football win over the Patriots.
Impact: Expect Sam Roush to serve as the team’s TE2 for the remainder of the season, while second-year tight end Colston Loveland should continue his recent ascension back into TE1 territory.
◆ Detroit LionsJared Goff – QB (chest)
Goff’s play may have been impacted by the injury in-game last week, though it is tough to say for sure. Hopefully he upgrades to full participation on Thursday. He was limited on Wednesday.
Impact: Likely none.
Amon-Ra St. Brown – WR (ribs)
St. Brown was limited on Wednesday after playing through the injury in Week 9.
Impact: None.
Isiah Pacheco – RB (back)
Pacheco was placed on injured reserve to start the season. General Manager Brad Holmes said he “hopes Pacheco returns this season.”
Impact: Well, that doesn’t sound great. There appears to be something more insidious going on with Pacheco’s back than initially thought. Lions coach Dan Campbell said running backs Jacob Saylors and Sione Vaki could split touches behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Saylors appears to be the first player up. Gibbs handled an absurd 34 opportunities, of 37 total running back opportunities, in the team’s Week 1, overtime win over the Saints
◆ Green Bay PackersJosh Jacobs – RB (finger)
Jacobs suffered a fractured finger in the team’s Week 9 win over the Patriots. He will miss two-to-three weeks after undergoing surgery.
Impact: Kaleb Johnson is reportedly the first in line for lead back duties in his absence.
Jayden Reed – WR (neck)
Reed suffered a scary-looking neck injury that required stabilization in the team’s Week 2 win over the Jets. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Tuesday that it is “way too early” to determine whether Reed will play again in 2026. That said, he was not placed on injured reserve ahead of their Week 3 contest. He will reportedly undergo surgery.
Impact: Beyond the football implications, it is good to hear Reed avoided any life-altering injuries in Week 2. Skyy Moore and Bo Melton are likely to soak up additional snaps, although volume is most likely to concentrate on Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft.
Chris Brooks – RB (ankle)
Brooks suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 4 win over the Buccaneers. The Packers designated him to return from injured reserve in Week 9.
Impact: Brooks will rotate in on passing downs upon his return for pass-protection duties.
◆ Minnesota VikingsKyler Murray – QB (hamstring)Murray was reportedly “slowed” by a hamstring injury in the team’s Week 8 loss to the Lions and is undergoing further tests to identify the severity. Those tests revealed a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which is likely to sideline the newly anointed backup quarterback for 3-4 weeks.
Impact: Murray can be dropped. Carson Wentz (ankle) is also ailing.
T.J. Hockenson – TE (wrist/chest)
Hockenson did not practice on Wednesday.
Impact: Jordan Addison could benefit if Hockenson cannot play in Week 10.
👉 Don’t forget: Check out the Rotoworld player news feed for all the latest news, notes, and transactions around the league.🏈 NFC South◆ Atlanta FalconsBrian Robinson – RB (hamstring)
Robinson was placed on injured reserve on Saturday.
Impact: In a shocking development, Robinson went from limited showings in practice with a questionable designation for Week 9 to injured reserve, with the potential that the veteran backup aggravated his ailment sometime during practice to end the week. He will miss the next four games, at minimum. Khalil Herbert should continue as the top change-of-pace option behind Bijan Robinson, the former of whom is not fantasy-viable.
Zachariah Branch – WR (hamstring)
Branch was ruled out for Week 9 against the Bengals early in the week. He remains sidelined in Week 10.
Impact: Drake London, Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts should continue dominating targets.
◆ Carolina PanthersJonathan Brooks – RB (groin)
Brooks aggravated the groin injury that forced him to miss the end of camp. The Panthers placed him on injured reserve in Week 3. The Panthers designated him to return in Week 10. He is practicing in full.
Impact: Chuba Hubbard likely remains in the volume-driven RB1 tier. Brooks is entirely unproven and does not necessarily need to be stashed in 12-team leagues.
◆ New Orleans SaintsTravis Etienne – RB (hamstring)
The Saints opened Etienne’s 21-day practice window in Week 10. He was limited on Wednesday.
Impact: Audric Estime is a starting FLEX if Etienne sits out in Week 10.
◆ Tampa Bay BuccaneersJalen McMillan – WR (knee)
McMillan suffered a sprained PCL in his first game action of the season in Week 3. The team placed him on injured reserve Monday, with an expected absence of 6-8 weeks.
Impact: Not much change considering he made his season debut in Week 3, although rookie Ted Hurst should remain in the starting lineup.
🏈 NFC West◆ Arizona CardinalsJeremiyah Love – RB (ankle)
The team placed Love on injured reserve after yet another ankle injury sustained in Week 8.
Impact: Bam Knight (concussion) resumed practicing in Week 10. Tyler Allgeier likely returns to a receiving/rotational rushing role.
Jalen Brooks – WR (wrist)
Brooks had emergency surgery on his wrist and will miss the remainder of the regular season.
Impact: The team signed veteran Zay Jones Tuesday in an associated move. Expect volume to continue to remain heavily concentrated on Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. Elijah Higgins is notable for DFS purposes.
Gardner Minshew – QB (elbow)
Minshew is feared to have torn his UCL in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact: Minshew appears likely to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, leaving rookie Carson Beck to start under center for the remainder of the season.
Michael Wilson – WR (neck)
Wilson suffered a neck injury in Week 9 that will end his 2026 season.
Impact: The Cardinals are now without their starting quarterback, second-string quarterback, alpha wide receiver, secondary and tertiary wide receiver, and starting running back as they head into the second half of a lost season. Trey McBride should soak up all the volume he can handle, with that volume now coming from rookie Carson Beck.
◆ Los Angeles RamsTerrance Ferguson – TE (hamstring)
Ferguson appeared to be on track to be activated from injured reserve after logging a full practice to end the week, but was ruled out for Week 9 with a new hamstring injury. He will miss multiple games.
Impact: Fantasy managers will have to continue to wait for the return of Ferguson.
Davante Adams – WR (hamstring)The Rams placed Adams on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring tendon. He underwent surgery in Week 8. The team is targeting a Week 13 return.
Impact: The Rams will employ run-heavy game plans in the coming weeks.
Puka Nacua – WR (knee/toe)
Nacua suffered PCL and MCL sprains, plus a turf toe injury, on the final play from scrimmage in the team’s Week 9 win over the Commanders. Nacua could return in Weeks 14 or 15, and he will not be placed on injured reserve due to transaction limits.
Impact: See above.
◆ San Francisco 49ersMike Evans – WR (Achilles)
Evans aggravated his Achilles injury in Week 6 and is expected to “miss some time.” He remains sidelined early in Week 10.
Impact: Evans will likely miss this week’s game.
Deebo Samuel – WR (hamstring)
Samuel suffered a hamstring injury in the team’s Week 5 win over the Seahawks. He resumed practicing in Week 10 and told reporters he is “ready” to play.
Impact: Samuel would return to the high-end FLEX tier if active.
Christian Kirk – WR (knee)
Kirk was limited on Wednesday. He was ruled out for Week 9 on Friday and placed on injured reserve on Saturday.
Impact: None.
De’Zhaun Stribling – WR (ankle)
Stribling suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 1 win over the Rams. The 49ers placed him on injured reserve in Week 2 after he underwent surgery to repair a deltoid ligament tear. He is expected to return in 10 weeks.
Impact: The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes Demarcus Robinson will be the primary beneficiary.
Ricky Pearsall – WR (knee)
Pearsall was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
Impact: Pearsall will miss the entirety of the 2026 season.
◆ Seattle SeahawksSam Darnold – QB (quad/ribs)
The Seahawks ruled out Darnold for Week 9 on Wednesday. He was also ruled out for Week 10.
Impact: Drew Lock (elbow/oblique) will be limited in practice this week before starting against the Raiders. He is a QB2.
Rashid Shaheed – WR (knee)
Shaheed injured his knee during a collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 7. He is practicing in full for Week 10 against the Raiders.
Impact: Shaheed is likely just a touchdown-dependent FLEX.
